Region: Abydos

Odinburgh

Though Novus Lucidum approached us for a merge, it was, unfortunately, misunderstood; the merge was supposed to be the emigration of Abydos to Novus Lucidum, not the other way around.

However, in light of this unfortunate misunderstanding, both the Grand Luxarch of Abydos and the Delegate of Novus Lucidum have agreed on the Treaty of Affinity, and, to which, I hereby declare the Treaty of Affinity to begin its act of implementation.

Preamble

Know ye all by these presents that this document establishes the Treaty of Affinity between the regions of NOVUS LUCIDUM and ABYDOS.
These terms make explicit the understanding between these two regions and signals to all other NationStates regions the solidarity, respect, and friendly relations that exist between them.
These terms strongly imply, but do not require, involvement or obligation in defending or collaborating on ventures between the two named regions.
The parties to these terms pledge friendship and respect to each other.

These terms make explicit the understanding that neither signatory to these Accords shall engage in any acts of belligerence or aggression toward the other or toward any the other Provinces, Territories, Colonies, or Allies.

Acts of Implementation

Upon ratification of these terms by the Government and Ruler of each region, each region must formally accept the treaty by sending an accredited (not having been found guilty of any crime in either region) Diplomat with his/her Diplomatic Nation to the other region.
Such Diplomatic Representative shall present Credentials by posting a statement on the Regional Message Board stating its diplomatic nature, the name of the region it represents, and the fact a Treaty exists between these two great regions.
Both parties to this Treaty shall provide a Consulate or an Embassy for their counterpart on their Regional Forum or Discord. The Diplomatic Representative shall present his/her Credentials by posting in whichever Forum or Discord is dictated by that region’s government, culture or traditions.
The Diplomatic Nations sent to the regions of the signatories to this Treaty may remain in the region and post messages as it deems appropriate, and will be granted all privileges and rights of the Citizens of the regions of the signatories to this Treaty, except that such Diplomatic Nations may not seek to become the WA Delegate, vote in elections, or propose laws.
Both regions shall make these terms easily accessible via their World Factbook Entries.

Once these steps have been taken and are completed, this Treaty will be in effect.

Further Benefits

It is contemplated that entering into this Treaty shall be the first diplomatic step leading to closer relations between our regions.
Each region may establish an Embassy, Diplomatic Office, or Consular Office in the regional forum of the other region.
The WA Delegates of each respective region are encouraged to communicate with each other in an effort to work together on WA matters.

As friendly regions, the parties to this treaty should feel free to seek cooperation on other matters.
